Hawaii Feature Films

byVern Lovic

These are some films that were made on the islands of Hawaii. You can rent these at Amazon and watch them on your computer now.

North Shore – I was actually in Hawaii when they were filming this, and I was asked to do a part beyond that of just an extra. I was going to be in the Halloween scene and actually have lines. Funny, right? I declined. I never wanted to be a part of movies. I think I am in two scenes anyway as background they shot when I was there at the North Shore.

Soul Surfer – the story of Bethany Hamilton, a young girl surfing on Kauai that was bitten by a shark and lost her arm to her shoulder. She is still competing in surfing competitions.

Pearl Harbor – with Ben Affleck. I think the music soundtrack from the film was even more popular than the movie – and it was quite popular.

Gidget Goes Hawaiian! – this is an old flick that many people still remember. I remember seeing it on TV back in what I’d have to guess was the late 1970’s. A Hawaii classic.
